get the sack 

Getting fired from your job. Australians use this phrase a lot. Probably from the pioneer days when the boss would throw a bag at the farmhand/miner/builder/labourer's head, tell him to pack his stuff and get lost.
"Bloody hell, the boss gave me the sack!"

"Are you going to get the sack for skipping work yesterday?"

Get in the fuckin' sack 

A phrase intended to remind magical thinkers of the ridiculousness of their claims.

Irish comedian Dara O'Briain first used the phrase in his stand-up performances when talking about priests, astrologers, and the like. He said that he would put them all in a big sack, tie the sack up with string, and hit them all with sticks.

He then went on to say that when someone gives a facile answer to a difficult question, and that person is then asked to provide evidence, but replies with "There's more to life than evidence," the proper response to that magical thinker is "Get in the fuckin' sack."
Hey, what happens to us after we die?

Oh, the good people go to live with god, and the bad people suffer for all eternity.

What's the evidence for that?

It's in the Bible.

Get in the fuckin' sack.

A trip to a grocery store, convenience store, or gas station for the sole purpose of buying an excessive amount of junk food and sugary drinks, usually with friends. A chud run often happens late at night and ends with everyone involved hating themselves afterwards.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!
